FLINTSHIRE residents are being asked to be vigilant against suspicious phone calls.

An incident has been reported to North Wales Police following a call they received from a resident in Flintshire who said a man had called them stating they were from North Wales Police Crime Prevention and asking if anyone aged 18 - 25 years of age lived in the household.

North Wales Police say they are not undertaking any calls of this nature, therefore no details should be given over the phone without verifying the caller and their intentions are genuine.

If you receive such a call, if possible identify the caller’s number by dialling 1471 immediately after the call and pass on any details to the police control room on 101.
